Your experience
  • Spaghetti with clams
  • Donuts

We will stroll through the villa's vegetable garden, immersing ourselves in the olive and fruit trees. In the kitchen, we will prepare spaghetti with fresh pasta, helping ourselves with an antique beechwood guitar. We will then proceed with the cooking of clams taken directly in the morning from the local catch and add the right touch with our lemons, to garnish and give the authentic and perfect scent. We will also discover an ancient traditional Roman recipe for doughnuts, prepared with a secret ingredient that makes them unique. Each guest will have everything they need for the class with Francesca, our expert cesarine.

An unforgettable evening with Francesca and her family in Civitavecchia. From the moment we arrived, we felt like part of the family. Francesca welcomed us with warmth, laughter, and incredible food. Every dish was made with love and local ingredients. The stories she shared brought the recipes to life, and the setting among olive trees made everything magical. It wasn’t just a cooking class; it was a real Italian experience that touched our hearts. We left with full stomachs, new friends, and beautiful memories. Truly grateful for all of this!

An experience we’ll never forget. It wasn’t just a cooking class, but an afternoon that felt like home. Francesca welcomed us into her kitchen with such warmth, everything smelled of family, tradition, and care. We kneaded the dough, asked questions, laughed, and made pizza together. We felt part of something real, and when we left, our hearts were full!

From the time we stepped into Francesca’s home until the time we left, we felt like we were a part of their family! Francesca, her husband, her son and her son’s girlfriend were wonderful and so kind! When we arrived, there were hor d’oeurves and wine waiting for us. We had the best day preparing pasta, cooking and eating a delicious lunch. We hated to leave when it was time. This family definitely pulled at my heart strings! This excursion is definitely a MUST!

It was an absolutely exciting experience! Francesca and her family are lovely and welcoming people! The place is wonderful. A villa in such a quiet place, furnished with great taste, surrounded by nature, not to mention the olive grove, which was really nice to walk. It was really worth the trip from South Carolina to Civitavecchia for her. Francesca is a teacher that we recommend! The cooking course was in fact very well organized, we had a lot of fun and immersed ourselves in the wonderful Italian cuisine. The result was delicious and the lunch with the family by the fireplace created a really pleasant atmosphere, we would never have expected it. Absolutely recommended! Thank you very much Francesca and family for the food and the warm welcome at your home!

Cesarina from 2024Location: Civitavecchia    Languages: Italian, English, Spanish, French
Hi, I'm Francesca! Originally from Naples but now living in Rome, I welcome my guests to a villa nestled among olive and fruit trees in the countryside of Civitavecchia. "Those who cook with love nourish more than just the body" – this philosophy guides every dish I prepare. Together, we’ll share the joy of picking vegetables from the garden, while discovering stories and traditions dating back to the early 1900s, offering a unique and authentic experience.
